    After too long in the work process, I'm ready to share a little side thing I've been doing.

    This is going to be known as Project: NARCM (Pronounced Narc-Em).

    Currently, there is a single unibody added to the 200bx:
    KBi Race Platform

    Welcome To KBull Industries!
    Current Vehicle: Ibishu 200bx

    Goal: Modularity
    Progress: Usable

    I wanted a 200bx that had a larger amount of customization, in terms of the frame. That is what I have made, the JBEAM N/B is still stock so all the changes are visual currently. I'm trying to figure out the JBEAM stuff still.

    I want this to eventually be something like the remastered Bolide. In-depth, many detachable parts, etc.

    I have support for the vanilla body and the Notchback body that was added by WBIMP (KLJP was not released until after initial release of this mod)

    I have contacted Kueso an LJ, I have full permissions to use the notchback body in this mod.

    I have also swapped the bastion V8 and the ETK-I front to the car, because it was interesting.

    Addiotional information, more frequent updates on development and more in the discord!

    There are currently no configs.

    Pictures use wheels from D-Troxx Wheel Pack and KLJP Modpack and some interior parts from a semi-private mod, I will not give information, however sharing images is okay.
    Most images from previous development stages, but are still relevant to the current status of the mod. If the part is present in an image, it is more than likely selectable with this mod.

    Pictures only showcase wheels from the above mentioned mods and parts found in this mod.

    This mod is really fantastic!!
    I've always been waiting for something like this! thank you so much for uploading

    but,there is a slight spike problem as you can see in the first picture...

    And I have one question.
    Where can I find the roll cage supporting the rear mounted radiator in the second picture?

    So, the spikes are caused by splitting the parts up and adding them as models to the body. In order to fix this issue, it needs a custom JBEAM N/B structure, which I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to create myself yet, I'm trying to figure it out and fix this.

    As for the rear mount radiator, unfortunately at this time it is actually considered a "legacy part" because it isn't setup for the Race Platform yet. It was created for the Race Unibodies which have a tube bracing in the rear section but lack the modularity, the rear window mount license plate is also meant for that unibody but there is minimal issue using it on the "New Era parts"


    I'll probably include a couple in the next update, I've mostly been focusing on the model and file setup side of the mod because it's not super quick work to generate files from scratch. There's a few things in terms of presentation that I've been wanting to create and include, and among those things are configs

    The lights should just be Carbon Frames, no actual lighting up, this is due to me not quite getting the hang of how lights work in beam yet. I'm looking to add some type of working light (either a single light bar or the headlights) working in the release following the next. I hope to add something in terms of a working light by then, but for now, they are frames.

    If the frames are not working, please join the discord and message me directly in the DMs outlining the issue. please include a picture if it is visual. Thank you!

    It's okay at best ;)

    Um... The whole suspension setup appears to be invisible for you. This is very odd and may warrant further investigation if clearing your cache doesn't fix it.

    To clear up your cache, launch the game (to the launcher, not main menu), select the support tools option, and there will be an option to clear your cache. Follow the prompts that come up when selecting the option and you should get it done without an issue. If you use ReShade you will need to reinstall it after clearing cache as well as remake any presets you made, it is possible to back the presets up so they don't get deleted but that's a bit more explaining.

    If after you clear you cache the suspension and pieces are invisible, please contact me directly on discord @Cable_jr#6661

    Okay, so I've been pretty quiet and away from modding but there's been slight progress on this, just small things however as I'm slowly tackling the larger issues which is a persistent jiggle, exploding large wings and the shoddy jbeam

    I've been doing some work on the jbeam and getting familiar with how it works this was done mostly by bringing actual shape and weight to the ported Bastion V8 engines, as well as making the exhaust dual and properly sized.

    I've made a somewhat quick modular door, it needs a bit more work and then it will be ready to receive parts additional to the stock options. Currently the doors will consist of the frame which has the subparts for a window seal (contains window part) and a mirror plate option (contains mirror part), the main door will also include an outer door skin and and inner door skin (which contains the door panel part). The door was really split up, and it can be stripped right down to a simple tube frame half door, just for the sake of something being a base.

    Beyond that, I've also begun to redesign the rear inner wheel wells because the current versions don't work with vanilla interior. With this being started, I'll also start working on getting interior pieces built to hide some of the tubing and also some parts to add more variety to parts.

    The next update unfortunately is still a little bit away because it will ship with better textures, the new doors, some reworked jbeam, and a few new interior pieces. Most of this stuff is started, but it is still being worked on and it's not always a lot of progress that can be made. I will try to be a bit more regular in terms of updates here on the forums, but I can't really make a promise I will remember to post here. I have linked a discord where I'm usually a message away, even if I'm offline.

    Also, with the release of the next update, the entire post will be remade to better explain and show off various aspects of the mod. I hope to have some pictures that showcase just the parts found in the mod as well as various builds using the mod (and maybe others) with filters and whatnot to look pretty and then a couple more pictures and maybe a video that are just normal showcasing the actual specs and parts and such of the mod.


    Again, this next update is still a good little bit away, I'm just bumping my old(ish) thread to show it's not dead and perhaps get some inspiration for parts for the new doors and other general parts to add along the way while doing this. I'm more than happy to add some smaller odds and ends to the pack as I go along because I will bounce back and forth between making parts to prevent getting burnt out whilst working 8+ hours on the mod, sometimes for a couple days in a row, so suggesting stuff actually helps keep this alive. I've attached pictures to show the newer rear inner wheel well and the new door parts.

    With the .26 update, this mod seems to be causing major issues with the core.
    I know the mods are still in the works, but will there be a hotfix coming soon?

    Aware the mod is broken.

    I have been doing some work to it both in terms of patching for this update and trying to release a new update for the mod as well.

    PLEASE Check the linked Discord for regular updates and more transparency from me, the creator. I only ask that because I do not spend a whole lot of time on the forums, so it's easier to report things over on the discord.

    That is all for now.
